2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Obama: CPT stands for "jokes that white people should not make" [View all]northernsouthern
(1,511 posts)47. Wait, which comments about people of color?
I hope you are not talking about the faux rage over the ghetto comment. There is so much wrong with people's reaction to that I can hardly contain myself when a person brings it up...
But this is the hot sauce one, it angered many people of color out side of the bubble here. I found it was stereotyping since she went right for it in her literal bag of tricks (the one she does not carry, her aid does).
Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton's attempt at scoring some cool points went pretty far south on Monday morning during a visit to radio show The Breakfast Club. During a sitdown with Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee and DJ Envy to continue her push to reach New Yorkers before the New York primary this week, she made a statement that has some people giving the candidate some serious side-eye. Clinton claims that she, just like Beyoncé, always has hot sauce in her purse.
Twitter, of course, has been relentlessly clowning Clinton for co-opting the famous line from Bey's "Formation," "I got hot sauce in my bag, swag." Skip to 25:00 in the video below to see Clinton answer the question, and then see how Twitter dragged her for it

I really don't understand why folks try to point to Oklahoma as a win for diversity on the part...

Well being racist never hurt her with her core supporters and the media shields her well.

Um... How dare you question white progressives when they tell you that you should be offended.

it is clouding his judgement- he doubtless knows that Hillary's been talking about her hot sauce
